Quick and Easy Vegan Meals with Tommy’s Superfoods

I’m excited to announce that I’ve partnered with a great health-conscience, eco-minded and vegan-friendly brand, Tommy’s Superfoods, to bring you some quick and easy vegan meal ideas featuring their ready-to-eat frozen seasoned veggie blends. Their delicious veggie blends are made with just a few simple ingredients: the freshest veggies and whole grains seasoned with herbs, spices and olive oil, and always WITHOUT artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.

Tommy’s selects the freshest certified non-GMO veggies and grains at their most nutritious state, then does all the prep and seasoning so you don’t have to, before flash freezing them within 8 hours of harvesting. This ensures the veggies and grains retain their nutritional value with a freezer life of up to 2 years. This longer freezer life not only gives convenience to a plant-based diet but also (bonus!) means a reduction in food waste.

Tommy’s has 12 varieties of yummy veggie blends so you have options when you need them. Like when I get hangry for example (you do NOT want to be around me when I’m hungry FYI), I can just heat some yummy veggies and grains up in a skillet (or microwave if that’s your thing) and be completely satisfied with them on their own (and banish hangry Kait). Or when I forgot to make dinner (true story) I can throw some sweet potatoes in the oven and stuff them with Tommy’s Seasoned Asparagus & Kale for a a quick but HEALTHY meal for my family. Or heat up some tortillas and quick-bake some tofu, add Tommy’s Seasoned Fiesta Quinoa with salsa and/or guac, and be Taco Tuesday ready in a flash. On their own, combined or in addition to a meal, Tommy’s veggie blends simply make life easier without sacrificing taste and nutrition.

Easy Vegan Fiesta Quinoa Tacos

Every day is Taco Tuesday with these quick and easy vegan tacos thanks to Tommy's Superfood ready-to-eat Fiesta Quinoa!

Ingredients

1 bag of Tommy's Superfoods Fiesta Quinoa

4 corn tortillas

1/2 cup of fresh or jarred salsa

8 oz of pressed firm tofu

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon of reduced sodium tamari

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional)

1/2 teaspoon paprika

pickled jalpeños (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line a small baking tray with tin foil. Slice pressed tofu into 8 slices and arrange on tin foil in 1 layer. Add olive oil, tamari, maple syrup, hot sauce and paprika to a small bowl and whisk together with a fork. Pour sauce over tofu and bake for about 10 minutes until sauce bubbles and tofu starts to brown a bit. Remove from oven and set aside.

Meanwhile heat the Fiesta Quinoa as directed on the package.

Heat tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side.

To assemble tacos, divide the Fiesta Quinoa among each tortilla, then add 2 slices of baked tofu to each, and top with salsa and pickled jalapeños or any other toppings of your choice such as avocado slices or guacamole.
